New Best MPH !!!
I got to visit the track this past Saturday and I could only get one run in for $20 :mad Oh well, I pulled a 1.99 60' (on nearly worn down Nitto 555 Extremes), shifted to second and got HORRIBLE wheel hop (exactly like EuG's vid of his wheel hop), so I had to shift it into third immediately and I ended up pulling a 12.552 but my mph was 117.446 MPH :eek: :eek: with STOCK heads. I was very happy. I know this puppy could have smacked off a 118 MPH run if I didn't get wheel hop and could have used second gear at all ;). I love my TR224 cam. This cam is da' shiznat!
TEA SII 5.3L heads to follow in the next two weeks :D

Re: New Best MPH !!! (C5Noir)
Awesome, I'm still holding out hope that I can run 120mph with stock heads and this cam.
I've got a lot of boltons to do.
Hopefully the track in Phoenix is at least as good as the one I've run at in Iowa.

I know if I can cut my wheelspin during launch from 3 seconds down to 1 sec...I can pull low 12's easy.... :smash: :smash:

Hey Levi,
Let me know if you need any info on installing the heads.
It's a pretty simple job. Get the ARP stud kit before you start !
